GENERAL DESCRIPTION
New Mexico has a proud tradition of preserving and celebrating its rich cultural history and heritage. This history is woven into the landscape and is an essential part of The Wilderness Society’s (TWS) work to protect public lands and connect communities across the state to our wild places. We seek a highly innovative and skilled advocate and campaigner to achieve new public land protections, defend existing land protections and bedrock environmental laws, and ensure that all New Mexicans equitably benefit from our public lands. This individual will also work to achieve energy and climate program and defense campaign goals, including defending places too wild to drill, facilitating the country’s transition to clean energy, and ensuring public lands are managed as part of a solution to climate change. They will help lead our Urban to Wild-Albuquerque Metro campaign, which is focused on ensuring Albuquerque residents have an equal opportunity to experience, appreciate and advocate for the region’s parks, open space, and public lands that connect us to the state’s rich cultural heritage from the urban to the wild.
Reporting to the New Mexico State Director and working with programs across the organization, the New Mexico Deputy State Director will develop and execute organizational priorities and initiatives throughout New Mexico.

This position plays a critical role in establishing and reinforcing an inclusive organizational culture that is grounded in trust and accountability to shared goals and outcomes. TWS has made diversity, equity, and inclusion strategic priorities for the organization.

Across our team, we aspire to be campaign-oriented, nimble, collaborative, innovative, transparent, and supportive of staff – our greatest asset.

Additional responsibilities include:
Develop and maintain a powerful, diverse constituency throughout New Mexico, cultivating key individuals, organizations, and other entities (including agency personnel and the state’s congressional rep resentatives) to secure long-term support for TWS’s goals and programs.
